Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu-starrer psychological thriller 1: Nenokkadine may have opened to mixed reviews at the domestic box office, but the film has received a rating of 9.2 on International Movie Database (IMDB) website, superseding Hollywood movies such as The Dark Knight Rises and Inception.

It currently holds the third spot on IMDB's highest rated thriller films with 9,254 votes.

The film, directed by B. Sukumar released Jan 10 for Sankranti. It opened to bad ratings and poor collections. But in the last few days, it picked up, thanks to word of mouth.

"It wasn't a film for the masses. Mahesh did the film to come out of his comfort zone. Many of his fans were disappointed because it wasn't as commercial as his earlier films. The film, however, did exceptionally good business in the US," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
